Ball Float Steam Traps belong to the family of mechanical traps. They operate on the difference in density between steam and water. A ball float is connected with a lever to the valve and seat. Condensate will be discharged once it reaches a certain level inside the trap. Condensate is discharged continuously.
Types
G11N & G12N: Cast Iron Steam Traps for small and medium condensate loads
G15N: Cast Iron Steam Trap for low pressure and large condensate loads
G3N-G5, G2-G8: Cast Iron Steam Traps for large condensate loads
G20: Ductile Cast Iron Steam Trap for medium condensate loads
GH3N-GH5,GH2-GH8, GH50: Cast Steel Steam Traps for large condensate loads
GH40, GTH12: Cast Steel Steam Traps for medium condensate loads
GC1, GC1V: Stainless Steel Steam Traps for small condensate loads
GC20: Stainless Steel Steam Trap for medium condensate loads
Features
- All traps are equipped with stainless steel wear and corrosion resistant float, lever, valve and seat systems for a long and problem free operation.
- Each ball float steam trap is equipped with an air vent for venting air and gases at the time of start-up and during operation.
- The large capacity steam traps like G2-G8,GH2-GH8 use a double ported balance valve system, which is small in its physical size compared with the very high capacity of the traps.
- All traps are designed for quick and easy maintenance.
- Available options: Lock release valve for G11N and G12N
Application Ball Float Steam Traps can be used in all process applications, like all kind of heat exchangers, tank and unit heaters and others, where condensate must be removed immediately after it forms. The type GC1 is especially designed for applications in the food, pharmaceutical and other industries with small condensate loads and the need for stainless steel bodies. It can be also installed for drainage of steam main lines.
